Stacey is a warm, open-minded and joyful character who is passionate to learn about the mind, body and earth connections. Her approach is generally slow and deep, highlighting her thoughtful and caring personality as she ‘listens’ with her hands. She has experience working with elderly, people with physical and mental disabilities, pre and post-natal mothers, and athletes. She worked in Chelsea, Quebec and recently moved back to Manitoba because she loves the cold… I mean, the Manitoban community spirit. (Her husky loves the cold though!) One of her theories is that a happy husky is a happy human, as she is a dog and animal lover to her core. She is also a firm believer that getting outdoors is part of a healthy lifestyle.
